### 1/5 — Not good at all

*2017-06-28, version 1.0.6*

Totally unrealistic don't waist your time on this game go find a better game like almost anything this game sucks

### 1/5 — ...................

*2013-09-03, version 1.0.4*

Dumb. The best word to describe this. I am a fan of the other papi games, and enjoy them. But, this is the only dumb one. Don't waste your time downloading this crap. Pardon my french. But, this dumb app is 1. Boring 2. Stupid, and 3. It doesn't sense it when you tap. And who knows, maybe you'll even make it to the lame jump swing, which is so hard to time, it is nearly impossible! I'm not sure if I'm the only one who's noticed this but little kids play this game, and hitting smiley faces with a bat, isn't exactly good. So, sunflat, try to do better, and people who read this, don't waste your time downloading this DUMB garbage!!!

### 4/5 — Alright

*2013-05-12, version 1.0.4*

It's fun but boring later

### 3/5 — Fun game I guess, wait, no no no NO!!!

*2013-04-06, version 1.0.4*

This game is boring if you ask me, all you do is tap the screen. "YAWN" the reason I got this game is when a submit said "you get to kill papi" OMG!!!! I like (some) papi games but hate papi cause I think he's stupid. Yay I get to kill him!!!!    
It's not really "killing" it's more like knocking out/ sorta killing but that's good enough. Right?

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2013-01-31, version 1.0.4*

It keeps saying I missed the ball when all I'm doin is tapping. It's a waste of time don't get:(

### 5/5 — Fun

*2013-01-19, version 1.0.4*

Luv it SO much ❤

### 5/5 — The best

*2012-12-28, version 1.0.4*

You get to actually kill papi! This is my brother's favorite papi game.

### 1/5 — Lame

*2012-12-18, version 1.0.4*

Papi games either hit it off or they don't.  No home run for papi batting

### 2/5 — Boring

*2012-07-21, version 1.0.1*

I like this game, but it can get boring after the first two swings

### 5/5 — Fun

*2012-07-03, version 1.0.1*

Almost all sunflat games are fun. All the Papua are good.
